[TheForge] Re: [TheForge]Cold Hammering Stock

[Larry]

If all you are doing is adding texture to the surface, I would not think you
would have much of a problem with distortion, You may have to turn it over
once in a while to tap it back flat, but that should not be difficult.  If you
rolled the edge slightly, just set it down slightly over the corner of your
anvil after you have finished the texturing, and tap it straight all around an
you can ensure a tight fight against the wall.

my thoughts....
